I have a 2017 Yamaha YZ450FX dirt bike. It starts all on it's own.
You are the only person to have one with demonic possession but they do have some history with starting. :>D
You have something where a connection isn't wide enough apart and that sizzling is the contacts arcing, heating up and moving together to complete the circuit. The likely place would be the starter button, the starter relay, or the starter motor solenoid. In the links, it appears the starter motor is the item with problems. you can test the relay for loose or sloppy contacts by tapping all 5 sides with the end of a wrench.

1985 Yamaha XJ700 Maxim will not charge battery during operation?
Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.
I am in two minds whether you have two issues or just one/
Bike runs and stall out, could be a few things, like a fuel hose air lock, I have seen that a few times. Or it just ran out of electrical power because the battery went flat (total loss system) I had that on a Kawasaki H1 500 triple that I took to the Isle of Man TT. I rode it home with a car battery on the back rack. That was caused by a faulty rectifier.
My guess is that you have a broken wire in the harness somewhere. Is the battery connected to the right polarity. That is an easy mistake to make. Tip, get the wife's red nail polish and put a line around the positive terminal edge and paint the hard to see black, raised plus + sign.
